.SH NAME
std::map::emplace \- std::map::emplace

.SH Synopsis
   template< class... Args >                             \fI(since C++11)\fP
   std::pair<iterator, bool> emplace( Args&&... args );

   Inserts a new element into the container constructed in-place with the given args,
   if there is no element with the key in the container.

   The constructor of the new element (i.e. std::pair<const Key, T>) is called with
   exactly the same arguments as supplied to emplace, forwarded via
   std::forward<Args>(args).... The element may be constructed even if there already is
   an element with the key in the container, in which case the newly constructed
   element will be destroyed immediately.

   Careful use of emplace allows the new element to be constructed while avoiding
   unnecessary copy or move operations.

   No iterators or references are invalidated.

.SH Parameters

   args - arguments to forward to the constructor of the element

.SH Return value

   A pair consisting of an iterator to the inserted element (or to the element that
   prevented the insertion) and a bool value set to true if and only if the insertion
   took place.

.SH Exceptions

   If an exception is thrown for any reason, this function has no effect (strong
   exception safety guarantee).

.SH Complexity

   Logarithmic in the size of the container.

.SH Example


// Run this code

 #include <iostream>
 #include <string>
 #include <utility>
 #include <map>

 int main()
 {
     std::map<std::string, std::string> m;

     // uses pair's move constructor
     m.emplace(std::make_pair(std::string("a"), std::string("a")));

     // uses pair's converting move constructor
     m.emplace(std::make_pair("b", "abcd"));

     // uses pair's template constructor
     m.emplace("d", "ddd");

     // emplace with duplicate key has no effect
     m.emplace("d", "DDD");

     // uses pair's piecewise constructor
     m.emplace(std::piecewise_construct,
               std::forward_as_tuple("c"),
               std::forward_as_tuple(10, 'c'));
     // an alternative is: m.try_emplace("c", 10, 'c');

     for (const auto& p : m)
         std::cout << p.first << " => " << p.second << '\\n';
 }

.SH Output:

 a => a
 b => abcd
 c => cccccccccc
 d => ddd
